Undrafted rookie guard Daishen Nix, who is currently playing on a two-way contract with the Houston Rockets, was officially named Tuesday as the NBA G League’s Player of the Week.
Since the Rockets are relatively healthy at the moment, the 19-year-old is playing with Houston’s G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Vipers, and he is taking full advantage of the opportunity.
In four games over the past week, the 6-foot-4 guard has averaged 27.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game, and he’s shooting 56.9% from the field and 50.0% on 3-pointers over that span. The Vipers went 3-1 in those games, including wins in each of the last three.
